Surprising Songs Used by the CIA to Torture Prisoners

One method of CIA torture is to play the same song nonstop for days on end. You may expect that the songs they choose to play are particularly grating or unbearable, but shockingly, a lot of them are songs that have been wildly popular in America.

The strategy behind utilizing this recognizable jingle, according to investigative reporter Justine Sharrock, is that it makes the public laugh rather than actually consider the maddening repetition torture. Apparently, this jingle would be played after a heavy metal session, and the shift in dynamics would be unbearably irritating.
